Wow

It's been a loooooong time! I just posted a link to my Maroon 5 Reno Experience and realized I hadn't updated in over a year!

Sooooo much has happened. I have another little boy named Nash. He was born 12/11/07. I've seen Maroon 5 3 times in the last 8 months and they are coming again in a couple of weeks.

All of the kids are doing well. I will post a better update later.

12.16.06

I am ENGAGED for the first time in my life! Ryan popped the question on Saturday. It was super sweet. We both cried. He asked for the girls' "advice" on how to propose. They had to keep the secret for a whole 20 minutes! They were going crazy and couldn't wait for him to do it.

Here's a pic of my ring. Ryan designed it:

The date is set for 07/07/07. Only a bit over 6 months away! I am SO excited. We are going to get married at our house. I can't wait!

Anyway, that's what is going on over here. Also trying to get ready for Christmas, which I thought I was done with until I realized how much overnight shipping is on Amazon. Sigh... I guess I get the fun job of shopping tomorrow night. Yay for me...

Life is good...

I'm sitting here holding my (big) baby boy. He's about to fall asleep. I'm drinking a glass of wine (he's drinking a bottle tonight) and I am overwhelmed by how lucky I am.

I probably complain a little too much, but I really am happy. I have a wonderful boyfriend whom I will marry very soon and four beautiful, amazing children. I have a nice house and it actually feels like home.

I got all three girls' school pictures back. I will have to post them soon. I can't believe how big they all are. Karrissa isn't smiling in her pics, but it's still a pretty picture.

Ryan I have been living together for over a year now. Hard to believe. I guess time flies when you're having fun... :)

I Love My Boo

I wish you knew how much.

(That's a really nice sweater...)

Mwah!

My Little Man & Three Princesses

Noah is getting so big! He is 15 pounds and 25 inches already.

Here's a pic of Ryan and I with Noah:

And his newest trick:

The girls are doing great, but are a bit bored. We are going to get a swing set soon for them. Karrissa was going to do Soccer, but the class was full. We are trying to find something else for her to do. I can't believe she is going into 7th grade! And Makenna will be in kindergarten!

They grow up so fast... :(

Happy First Father's Day to the Man I Love

I am so lucky that you are the father to my children. You are the most giving, caring, loving father I have ever known.

I love watching you with the kids. It melts my heart. Thank you for sharing yourself, your love and your life with us.

Happy First Father's Day Boo, I love you so much.

Another Year.

Happy Anniversary to my boo. It's been three years since we met.

A year ago, we were just about to learn of Noah's impending arrival. And here we are, with a house in the 'burbs and a beautiful family.

We've had some tough times, but more happy ones. Right now is one of the happiest. I've never been so content and secure before.

I love you and I am so proud of you.

Kisses,
boo

Like Mother, Like Son...

Not quite ready for his first Margarita yet...

I'm in love with two men...
